Non notable British University American Football team. Sports teams at British Universities are rarely of not on their own campus never mind further a field. The small number of exceptions to this rule are generally confined to soccer, rugby, rowing and cricket. This team, which competes in what is a niche interest sport in the UK, does not appear to be one of those exceptions. Searching google I find only sites related directly to the team or its rivals. I have found absolutely nothing to grant the team notability. Pit-yacker (talk) 23:00, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - number of google hits (4,310) is too low for this to be notable. T3h   1337   b0y  23:13, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete notability has not been established, at least not for our levels here. HEY this one actually had a source!--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:50, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - very few British university sports teams are notable and this one does not appear to be an exception to this rule. Pfainuk talk 07:30, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - with a few obvious exceptions, British university sports teams are rarely notable and this one makes no specific notability claims. TerriersFan (talk) 20:36, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - I've said it time and again, British University teams are rarely notable on their own campus, never mind in the wider world. I am also unable to find anything that can grant this team notability. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) &#124; (talk to me) &#124; (What I've done)  22:27, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Notable as a full, active member of BUAFL. See the extended discussion at Articles for deletion/Derby Braves.  SteveStrummer (talk) 02:59, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * There seems little basis to assume that BUAFL members are inherently notable even in the absence of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Please demonstrate that such coverage exists. Pfainuk talk 17:15, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
